Sky Meadow
Slow down among hills and gardens
The Northeast Kingdom’s rolling hills and wooded paths set the pace at Sky Meadow, a family-owned retreat venue where time outdoors is part of the appeal. Guests can explore gardens and quiet woods, take in the open countryside, and encounter chickens and grazing sheep along the way. The setting suits a retreat or gathering that values space, simplicity, and a change from everyday routines. Sky Meadow hosts retreats as well as momentous occasions, so the experience may depend on the event you join rather than follow one fixed program. Its natural surroundings offer room to slow down and spend time in the landscape, whether that means a gentle walk or a pause among the gardens. Retreats are paid, though specific rates and arrangements depend on the booking. Contact the host to ask about upcoming dates, lodging, and what each retreat includes.

Setting
The landscape is a defining part of a stay here: rolling hills, gardens, wooded paths, and the open countryside of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Chickens and grazing sheep add a down-to-earth, farm-like note to the quiet surroundings.
A typical day
Daily rhythms depend on the retreat or gathering taking place, rather than following one set schedule. Ask the host what a particular event includes, including any group sessions, meals, and time for exploring the grounds.

What to bring
Pack comfortable layers and sturdy walking shoes for exploring the grounds. Vermont averages 6.3°C annually, with wetter conditions common in May, October, and November, so bring a rain layer too.
